The Navy also tried to give voice to this lobby. However, the initiative was short-lived. On June 1, their social networks posted an image showing an airplane billowing rainbow smoke and a message next to it that read "Pride Month" over and over again. The post did not even last 24 hours before it disappeared from the Navy's pages. The same happened with its logo, which went from rainbow to back to normal again.
